Hi all! Thank you for your responses! Steve E. So so happy to hear you are doing so well! I do miss everyone. Would be great to plan a meet up this Summer! Dick, just amazing with your valve! That is one for the books for certain. Really a great accomplishment! I was upset when I learned they...

It's been a number of years since I have stopped by. Hope everyone has been doing well! I am now 19 years post Medtronic Tilting Disk Mitral valve. Recent exam proved positive, though I am still awaiting my echo. I am feeling well heart wise. Not expecting a big chance since my 2016 exam. The...

It was very nice meeting you. Wish we all lived in Savannah. We had a great time visiting the city :) Gina

Ross was an amazing support to one and all on this board and beyond. Thinking of him today, praying for his family and friends. May you rest in peace buddy. As Hank said, until we all meet again.....

Hi Marty! Not certain where your post went? But I am sure happy to see you my long time friend! Yourself and Rich were my very first heart buddies back in 99! I would not have made it through my surgery, and most importantly, recovery without your kind and reassuring messages. So thrilled to...

Great to see so many of my heart buddies posting away. My story is similar to Janie's, we were with the original Listserve group prior to Vr.com. There were 5 of us, correct ;). Hope you are all well. I continue to plug away. High functioning most days. Coming up on 15 years post MVR.

Hello old friends. Been ages since I have been on the board. Hope this note finds you well. Wanted to add, my thoughts are prayers are with Ross and his family. If you have been part of Vr.com for years, Ross was such an integral part of this site back in it's infancy. Will never forget how...

13 can be a lucky number, agree Greg! Valve anniversay is on 3-17, another "lucky day"! When this was offered, I took it as a sign from above. St. Patty's Day was my Grandmother's birthday. Was always told I was the apple of her eye :) Mary, happy to hear all is well. This summer has been...

Hi Greg, I am doing well, thanks. At the 13 year marker post MVR. Feeling good. Valve looks great. On a yearly echo plan. Last (2) echo's showed decreased pumping capacity of my RV. Most likely from scar tissue. This had not effected my overall EF. This past year, echo was slightly improved...

I would consider Nashville. Lived in Memphis for 5 years. Visited Nashville on a regular basis. Would have preferred living in Nashville over Memphis. I have not been on the boards in many moons. We have a member.... Robthatsme. He lives in the greater Nashville area. We have met in person...

Thank you for the wishes! I am still out here and doing ok ;)

Hi Mary! Hope you are well. Sadly, I will not be able to make it. Hope we can find another time in the future. Would be great to have our annual reunions return someday ;)
